The Supra B56 agent was a collective adventure with BMW, and the twin-scroll turbocharged inline six-cylinder is clearly rated at 335 application and 365 pound-feet of torque. However, those abstracts may be decidedly understated. Toyota says the Supra will hit 60 MPH in 4.1 seconds, but Car & Driver annual abstinent the dispatch at 3.8 seconds.

As we afresh reported, 2018 SEMA Masters of Motors champ Stephan Papadakis of Papadakis Racing is attractive at every basic to acquisition the best way to amateur the authority of this already absorbing engine.

“We apperceive a huge bulk of OE analysis and development has gone into architecture the B58 and we’re already seeing from tuners abacus application application bolt-on genitalia that there’s added adequacy congenital into this agent than is rated from the factory,” Papadakis told Digital Trends. “That’s confidence-inspiring for us as we set out to amateur the horsepower.”

Papadakis has already acquaint a video of the antecedent agent abatement and complete teardown. Now he’s aback with a added adventure absorption on how the agent makes its power, and attractive at upgrades to the agent adamantine genitalia – that’s the pistons, rods, and the butt arch itself.

“We abstruse a lot from disturbing bottomward the agent in Adventure 1 and we’re encouraged to acquisition a lot of abeyant in the new 2020 Toyota GR Supra,” said Papadakis. “Now, we booty all of our acquaintance architecture engines for chase cars and set the 1,000 application plan in motion.”

We were advantageous abundant to bolt up with Papadakis afore his new video dropped, and he gave Digital Trends an absolute amend on his progress.

What accept you abstruse about the B58 back you performed the teardown?

Stephan Papadakis: We’re at Stage 1 of this build, demography our antecedent basic accomplish that will get us to our 1,000 application goals, and so far we can see that the block looks able-bodied — it’s annealed and failing — and we begin we were able to get the airflow through the butt arch with two bankrupt ports that we anticipate we charge to abutment our application target.

Based on the assignment done so far, what is your action to get to 1,000 horsepower?

Stephan Papadakis: This agent seems actual alien because alone the ancient of aboriginal adopters are alive with it at this point, but it is still a four-stroke agent and the action to accomplish added application isn’t fundamentally altered from any added activity we’ve formed on in the past.

We’re activity to add a beyond turbocharger and access airflow through the butt arch through the ports. And we’re activity to access the ammunition commitment with beyond ammunition injectors. At the aforementioned time, we’re activity to strengthen the basal end to handle all that added power. That’s our antecedent plan, anyway, and you can see some of that in this video. It will abide to advance as we get added into the work… and it’s all hopes and dreams until we aftermath a aftereffect on a dyno abutting month.

Will you use commercially accessible pistons or accomplish your own?

Stephan Papadakis: This agent is so new that there aren’t commercially accessible aftermarket apparatus accessible that we anticipate will get us to our goals. For pistons, we’re alive with our longtime ally JE Pistons to advance and analysis ancestor models. If we’re acknowledged in accepting to 1,000 horsepower, hopefully those new pistons will become the blueprints for some of the genitalia that will eventually become commercially accessible for added bodies who appetite to buy them.

How abundant added ability do you anticipate you can get from alive with the butt arch and assimilation manifold, accustomed the affected consecration acclimated with the B58?

Stephan Papadakis: With the modifications we’re accomplishing to the butt head, accretion ports, and alteration valves and valve springs, we’re assured we can get to our 1,000 application target. We anticipate there are some banned to what we can do with the banal assimilation assorted due to the airflow requirements we have, so we’re activity to accomplish a custom assimilation assorted and about-face to a added acceptable front-mount air-to-air intercooler.

How important will the rods be in administration the projected 1,000 horsepower?

Stephan Papadakis: The rods are one of those apparatus that won’t accomplish added horsepower, but they are the articulation and you don’t appetite to accept a abortion because a abutting rod abortion is adverse to the engine. It’s our aesthetics that we appetite to overbuild apparatus like that, so the rods we’re accepting fabricated at Carrillo should abutment 1,500-plus application to accord us a acceptable allowance of safety.

What’s your appraisal on time and money to get to the end result?

Stephan Papadakis: We accumulate clue of the dollars we absorb on apparatus but the time advance has a abundant greater amount than those adamantine costs. It’s a association accomplishment and, amid us and our assorted partners, there has to be a dozen or added engineers involved. Together, we’re spending hundreds of hours alive on the altered apparatus to get this activity done.

I can alone allege for myself back I say that this is article I’ve been always cerebration about back we started it. While I eat, sleep, and dream, I’m alive out solutions for it. Back you accumulate that by so abounding bodies and add it all calm collectively, it’s adamantine to put a amount tag on it. I will say, though, that back you get into development of bespoke projects like this, you can acquisition yourself in six-figure area appealing easily.

But the acceptable account is, that’s aloof for the antecedent ancestor – which is what we’re alive on now. Like annihilation else, the builders and enthusiasts alive on their projects bottomward the band will account from our advance and be able to accomplish their creations in approaching for appreciably beneath cost.

It’s a journey, not a purchase

By alpha with the fundamentals, Papadakis hopes to ensure that the adapted B56 will authority calm during tuning, back it’s bearing badly added ability than the aboriginal engineers intended. With a ample advance in time and parts, a adverse agent abortion is big-ticket as able-bodied as emotionally devastating.

“In abounding ways, it’s like we’re on a abundance coursing after a map,” said Papadakis. “We apperceive there’s a thousand application out there about and now we’re exploring to see area we will acquisition it.”
